Abstract
We reported two cases of the patients with tangential osteochondral fracture (TOCF) which were treated with poly-L-lactic acid pins and fibrin glue. We obtained good results in both cases using external support with knee braces after surgery instead of rigid fixation with casts.
We recommend these materials for the treatment of osteochondral fracture associated with patellar dislocation.
